Mobile Tour: Building Leaders - Kawann Short

Leading is nothing new to Kawann Short. The defensive tackle
is used to success but never satisfied.

In high school, the East Chicago-native, enjoyed as much
success on the hardwood as he did on the gridiron. As a teammate of former
Boilermaker E'Twaun Moore, Short helped lead his high school to the 4-A state
championship.

His achievements didn't end there. As a redshirt freshman,
Short was named an All-American by CollegeFootballNews.com and to the Big Ten
All-Freshman Team by Sporting News.

Don't question his work ethic. When he's not hunting
quarterbacks, his hobbies are listed as "enjoys lifting weights" on
purduesports.com.

To learn more about this defensive captain, I asked about
his own thoughts on leadership. Here's to hoping he doesn't confuse me with a
ball carrier...

Until next time...Ever Grateful, Ever True. Boiler Up, Hammer Down and Hail Purdue!
